Man and woman are two parts of a whole. One is incomplete without other. The
Holy Quran says, “And We have created you in pairs” (male & female). The
existence of one without the other would be colorless and boring. The need of
the one for the other is so great that it was honoured even in heaven when Eve
was created for Adam. Moreover the union of the both is necessary for human
survival. Besides this need, they are a complete source of joy and comfort for
each other. It is said that man is the crown of the universe but it is woman who
adorns this crown with her charms. That is what Milton asserts in Paradise Lost:
“O fairest of creation! Last and best / of all God’s works!”
In Islam society, women are treated with utmost honour. She has the honour of
being a mother, a wife, a sister and a daughter. No other religion gives her so
much importance as Islam gives her. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in his last
address asked the Muslims to treat women and the slaves kindly. As a mother, she
enjoys matchless honour. The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, “Verily the heaven
lies under the mother’s feet.
In our society, women are not respected and honored especially in villages. In
villages, they do not even get the chance of education. They have to work in the
fields with men. Their life in villages is hard.
In cites, most of the women enjoy the opportunities of education. Their life is
as much better as that of men. They can take parts in every kind of activity.
They are allowed to go to colleges, offices and universities. They even can
compete with men in election. In many countries of the world, they have proved
their skills.
As for the liberty of women is concerned, they should be allowed to take parts
in all kind of political, social, economic and cultural activities. But they
should also realize their duty as Muslim women. Islam imposes upon them certain
restrictions. For example, they should wear veil. They shouldn't violate the
golden principles of Islam. Islam doesn't forbid them to get education, work for
the progress of their country, earn money and struggle for an honorable status.
But sometimes, in their unjustifiable freedom, they ignore their duty as Muslim
women. Sometimes, like the European women, they speak against the universal
principles of Islam. Then they can’t be overlook. They must realize their duty
as a Pakistani and Muslim women.
It is admitted that women are as important as men. They should be given every
chance for the betterment of themselves and society. Without their role, the
speed of the development of the country would be very slow. They should come out
to work with their men but at the same time, they should be true Muslims.
It would not be out of place to ask the women not neglect their duties at home.
She should also be a good mother, loving wife, an ideal house-keeper and a
matchless patriot. With this regard her duty is two-fold. She will have to
perform her duties in their house as well as outside the house.
